Tips for Your Long-Distance Move From Fontana
- Book early. Secure your mover at least 4 to 6 weeks out, especially if you're moving in summer or at the start or end of the month.
- Separate what's not going on the truck. Set aside donation piles, trash, and anything you're keeping with you so nothing ends up loaded by mistake.
- Pack an essentials bag. Keep daily must-haves with you, including medications, chargers, important documents, and a few days of clothes.
- Transfer medical records in advance. If you're switching doctors or pharmacies, request records early so you're not scrambling to get care in a new city.
- Plan around the heat. Fontana summers average 94°F. Schedule loading for early morning, keep water on hand for the crew, and move heat-sensitive items last so they spend the least time on the truck.
- Check parking rules before moving day. Fontana has specific parking and permit requirements for moving trucks. Sorting this out ahead of time keeps the crew from circling the block or getting ticketed while they load.
- File your change of address. Update your address with USPS before you go so mail follows you without a gap.
FAQs
How long does a long-distance move usually take?
There's no single answer, since distance, home size, and scheduling all play a role. That said, most long-distance moves take between 3 and 14 days. American Van Lines will confirm your estimated delivery window before your move begins.
What's the best time of year to move?
If flexibility allows, spring and fall offer the best balance of availability and pricing. Summer is peak season, which means higher demand and tighter schedules. Moving between October and April can often save you money and time.
What is an inventory?
An inventory is a complete list of the items you plan to move. It helps us calculate an accurate flat-rate quote and ensures every piece is tracked from pickup to delivery.
What payment methods do you accept, and when are payments due?
American Van Lines accepts major credit cards, debit cards, and certified checks. For long-distance moves, payment is generally collected at delivery. Your move coordinator will confirm the exact terms when you book.
Do you provide or sell packing materials?
Yes, packing materials are available with our packing service. If you're doing your own packing, you can also buy materials through American Van Lines and have them shipped directly to you.
